The golden ball on his back finally grew to a diameter of 100 meters. It became bigger than Helios himself. The heat it was radiating had melted the material that made up the ant mound for 1 kilometer in every direction within the ant mound. The heat isn't affecting him because he is technically a demigod of the sun but he is suffering in other aspects.

His body became a battleground similar to the time he was a fetus. This time it is divine energy that is the opponent while the law fragments in his Stigmata are his helpers. Unlike the time he was a fetus when his pregnant mother took the fall for their conflict, he has no one but himself to go through the pain.

The divine energy is also not freely given. The sun god is very pissed at him right now. Stelios might not have had a choice about leaving part of his power behind, but he will fight Helios for its control every step of the way. This is not a boon that he will take without a fight.

The first repercussion started in his skin. His red skin cracked painfully and began leaking golden blood. The blood fell to the ground and melted holes through it like acid. Then his skin began to shed. It flaked off in layers leaving behind golden tattoos still imprinted on his flesh. His body is bursting with unruly and barely contained energy. It is his skin that is the first to suffer.

Without the skin to obstruct vision, his changing muscles became exposed. The red flesh of his muscle has turned transparent from which the bones can be seen. The golden runes are still present within the transparent patches. There are also golden opaque patches of muscle. The transparent patches are spreading slowly while the golden patches are spreading really fast.

The two patches ignore each other and compete for his muscles, then they extend themselves down to the bone. When they are done with his bone, they face off against each other. The celestial power in the golden patch wants to destroy Helios' progress in his breakthrough by absorbing the white patch. If the golden patch wins, then Helios will explode and the celestial power he stole will be returned to its rightful owner.

It turned out to be a losing battle. Stelios's remnant will is still present within the celestial power considering that it is technically a part of Stelios's body. So it is resisting assimilation. Even with the fragments of order on his side, Helios can't win against the divine will of a celestial. Not alone at least. He has beaten more than he alone can chew. Fortunately, he is not alone.

The green divine life energy of the tree father entered his soul through the soul sphere in his soul. The energy entered his body too but it was resisted by the golden patch while the white accepted it readily. It is a bad idea to allow someone to interfere in your breakthrough no matter how much you trust that person because that's the moment when you're most vulnerable.

Helios doesn't have anything to fear from the tree father so he readily accepted the help that was offered. His decision gave him a fighting chance. That's all Helios needed. The golden patch recognized the threat of the divine life energy and chose to fight. It now has to fight two enemies.

It is not a pleasant feeling to have a three-way battle for control in his body but it gave Helios a fighting chance against the Celestial power of the sun. So he bore with the doubling of the pain he is going through. It helped that the others whispered words of encouragement to him. His body shook and spasmed violently but he didn't fall. He remained standing and he was rewarded for his resilience.

The divine engine stopped growing immediately after the divine life energy was introduced and the golden ball on his back stalled. The white patch started to beat back the golden patch and slowly swallowed it up. The two forces beat back the golden energy until it was completely subdued and assimilated. He became a white statue with golden tattoos carrying a giant white ball on his back. Then the ball began to reduce while Helios began to grow bigger.

The white ball was being absorbed by the white statue. The statue started to change color with the assimilation of the celestial power. It turned red, orange, and yellow. It finally settled on golden. He has also ballooned in size. He has reached a height of 50 meters over the years but he doubled it after absorbing the entirety of the celestial power.

His body also began to morph. He lost his legs, arms, and head. They were absorbed into his body as he turned into a ball of golden energy. He transformed from a giant holding up the sun into the sun himself. Then 10 minutes later the giant ball 100 meters across that he transformed into began to reduce in size until it became 10 meters in diameter.

About 10 minutes later, that ball began to morph again. It grew arms, legs, and a head. Then it formed a torso for them. It became a golden statue of a giant. Two slits opened up in the head to reveal eyes that are pure white. Both the pupils, iris, and cornea are white. There are also white runes flowing across the golden skin of the giant like an obscure arcane script.

"I made it. Now I am a true son of the sun."

He has finally become a transcendent.
